The origins of a global hit from Spain, with its melancholic melody and shining beat
Los Bravos' debut single, released in 1966, was the title track "Black Is Black," which reached number two in the UK and number four in the US, making it the first Spanish rock band to achieve major international success.
This classic song, which inherited the flow of beat music, captivated listeners worldwide with its melancholic melody and soulful vocals. The urgent rhythm and memorable chorus combined to leave a lasting impression on the pop/rock scene of the mid-60s. Along with the B-side, "I Want A Name," this historic single proved that a Spanish band could make it big on the international stage, and is an essential album for any discussion of the development of European rock.
